Everyone is doing so well. What I love about this thread is how, when any one of us falls off the wagon, we own it, which means we are all putting more thought into what we choose to buy.

My son's GF asked me to make her a robe to wear at the hospital when she gives birth next month, then asked if I could make an outfit for the baby out of the scraps. She brought me all of 4 yards of 44" wide fabric! I got the robe done, but there were no scraps, lol.

So, off I went to the fabric store today. I bought exactly what I needed to make the baby a gown, a jacket, and a pair of pants. I didn't even look at the wall of quilting fabrics. I still felt a small urge to grab up a remnant or five, but it passed quickly.

My stash is now down to what would probably be two bookshelves, so I'm still a ways to go on my goal of getting all of my stash and UFOs down to just one bookshelf. But at least I haven't added to it this year. At least not yet, anyway.
